In the final event of the season, the club traveled to the Black Rock Canal in Buffalo to compete in the Head of the Niagara on the home waters of West Side Rowing Club. On a morning with temperatures hovering around 32 degrees, the course was shortened due to rough water conditions.

Two boats from CLRA participated in the Women's Master 4-Plus race. The boat with N. Saxman, S. Hall, A. Odrzywolski, E. Troester, and coxswain Jim Odrzywolski finished first and the second boat with L. Chentfant, Jan Odrzywolski, M. Mack, Sarah Thompson and coxswain L. Tomassini finished second to win the Head of the Niagara mug. The Chautauqua Lake Rowing Association has programs for high school students, adult masters competitive, and adult recreation.
